Once a grant is approved, you will be notified about what has been approved and any requirements for payments to be made. This information is detailed in the Grant Approval Schedule.

Provided you have met all applicable prepayment requirements, your payment will be paid on the scheduled payment date.

You can view your Grant Approval Schedule and upcoming payments in the Portal.

Retrospective costs (for items or expenses incurred prior to grant approval) will not be covered by the grant unless in exceptional circumstances.

All grants made by Lotterywest are provided exclusive of GST on the items that the grant has been approved for, unless otherwise advised. However, if your organisation is registered for GST, when Lotterywest makes a payment of grant monies to your organisation, a Recipient Created Tax Invoice (RCTI) will be available to view in the Portal, which identifies a GST component that has been included within the payment to your organisation. This GST component is required by the Australian Taxation Office, as GST due on the grant payment itself and should be forwarded by your organisation to the Australian Tax Office. It is not to be treated as a reimbursement for any GST you may have paid on goods or services related to your claim for payment. RCTI will be available in the Portal.

Grants are paid through an electronic funds transfer. Please ensure the bank account details provided are your organisation’s main operating account and these account details are always kept up to date in the Portal.
